BTW, seashore paspalum on 100% sand, but was mowed higher than 0.5', or any height of paspalum grown on sandy soil with at least 1% organic matter saw absolutely no injury or discoloration.Д«ayer's work on St. But, Bayer doesn't want to deal with injury claims from yellowed turf. You certainly won't kill or remove any paspalum with Specticle. Seashore paspalum was only removed from the label after some yellowing was noticed when Specticle was applied to seashore paspalum grown in 100% sand rootzones and mowed at less than 0.5'. May I ask exactly what kind of weeds you are trying to prevent/control? The label rate of Specticle caused the St Augustine to send runners that were not rooted down. Turf density was noticeably affected compared to grass treated with non root pruners. Good under shrubs, on lawn where you want maximum rooting? I have seen it used on bermuda sports fields mowed at 1' or higher. Without Specticle, it is no problem for grasses to put roots down and become established. Their stolons float on the soil surface where it is easy to cut it off with an edger. Warm season grasses trying to encroach on sprayed soil fail to root. The only thing I use Specticle for is to stop grass from growing under trees and shrubs. Starvation, low mowing, water rationing, and usage of root pruning herbicides falls under that flag. I find that the best defense against weeds in St Augustine is to do nothing that will negatively affect the rooting or overall turf density. There are no underground rhizomes or a deep central root system. Those are the life blood of those grasses. With centipede and St Augustine, the last thing I want to ever interfere with is the root tack down from the surface stolons.

Indicating it is only to be used if removal is desired.

Bayer even had to remove the labeling for seashore paspalum. There are explicit warnings about what effect this product has on the roots of turfgrass. Specticle? HOLY SHIZ! Bayer has rates for application to centipede and St Augustine which are half of what is for bermuda.
